Every religious tradition stresses the importance of having a teacher and of being taught. Of course, what is taught is also important.

These are the matters I talked about this week in Ordinary Life. The teacher is as much a student as those being taught. As for content, what I claim is important in our relational lives is being able to say: I love you, thank you, forgive me and I forgive you.

That in summary is the "life talk" I offered in Ordinary Life this week. The full text I spoke from is below. Links to the audio version, which is somewhat different, as are the presentation slides are also below.
